Working late last night on lesson plans away from home, I had the opportunity to eavesdrop on a group of Christian 20-somethings discuss several in-depth issues. To hear them debate, I was feeling quite old and matronly (two different things). However, their discussion was thought-provoking and good mental exercise vs. the phonics lessons I was planning.

Not sure if I've seen it here, so I'll throw it out now. » read more »

Need I say more than this? Jurors who question the legitimacy of unconstitutional or immoral laws are kicked off the jury. In short, we can all rest assured that juries--the last check and balance against government tyranny in the courts--will blindly obey the will of their government masters. How is this freedom? » read more »

I am looking for a good criminal defense attorney, specifically one supportive of the Second Amendment and familiar with self-defense. Can you recommend one in GA (Gwinnett) to me?

The courts and the populace have been steadily growing toward a logical and spiritual fallacy, and this trend will result in dire consequences for our society. Increasingly, people seem to believe a murderer must be insane to commit whatever heinous murder he committed (e.g.; counterpoint). In particular, common thought now suggests it somehow requires a greater degree of mental illness to murder someone with a blade than with a firearm. » read more »

I have read some of the blogs on this site and I feel a need to say something. I have lived a long time and have observed a lot of history. I have been involved in politics since I was 16 years old. I was Vice President of Tennessee's Young Americans for Freedom, Young Republicans Club, been an assistant delegate to conventions, etc. I care so much for freedom as that is what the Lord has given us -- free will. I believe that we can practice the Christian Faith so much better in a Capitalistic Society (economics) and I believe more in a Republic which is what our Founding Fathers intended for us to have instead of a Democracy. » read more »

Not long ago, I happened to reread an old blog post of mine that deals with the issue of the powers granted to the federal government by the Constitution. After I finished reading my "additional thoughts" at the end, another thought occurred to me. When President Washington was considering the bill, passed by Congress, that would enact a national bank, he wanted to investigate whether it was supported by the Constitution before he signed it into law. This seems like a reasonable approach to me, but unfortunately, today's lawmakers don't seem to have much regard for the Constitution. » read more »

Still think the police are there to "protect and serve"? Ask this grandmother about that. Seems she was walking her dog in the park when a teen took a shot at her with a handgun. Naturally, she went to the police. Their response: "Walk your dog somewhere else."

The land of the free:

Until a July Florida appeals court ruling, Mark O'Hara, 45, had been in prison for two years of a 25-year mandatory-minimum for trafficking in hydrocodone, based solely on the 58 tablets found in his possession in 2004, even though his supply had been lawfully prescribed by a physician. The state attorney in Tampa had pointed out that Florida law did not mention a "prescription" defense to trafficking, and even though O'Hara had lined up a doctor and a pharmacist to testify, the jury wasn't allowed to consider the issue. After the appeals court called the case "absurd" and ordered a new trial with the prescription evidence allowed, the state attorney still refused to drop the case.

A woman left her infant in her Mercedes (note her occupation) on a hot day for over eight hours, killing the child. It's not bad enough that she killed her own child by incompetence that really takes the cake, but she's an assistant principal at a public school. She didn't love her own child enough to keep from killing it, so why in hell is she considered trustworthy to care for hundreds of others' kids? And here's justice: as of this writing, she's not being charged with anything!
